Neither lens is wide enough for a classroom shot, if you want to cover at least half the room. You'd need the 12-24 for full coverage. Paul
Paul, I am speaking from experience and very particular need. I do believe that 24 mm on wide end will be enough for that very purpose. You're in principle right but I don't have a flash to cover 16 mm EFOV and kids are really fast, you know. I might be better off with Tammy 17-50/2.8 or something similar but I'd like to give this Sigma lens a fair chance. For outdoors shoots (such as class trips to zoo) Pentax FA 24-90/3.5-4.5 should prove just perfect. Anyways, I am not a zoom kind of person, so that these zoom lenses are for very specific purpose.
I had a period of time when I shoot almost exclusively with Tamron (hence the 5,000+ shots in my collection that I made with it), but it passed. Although of course when I go on a shoot with Galia's class, I bring in several hundreds shots, so that the figure grows steadily and surely.
Other than that, my by far most used and most favorite lens is A 50/1.2. Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
